I am about to order one and was wondering what the installation is like in terms of difficulty and time required. Any drilling involved or does it just bolt on? Please no "do a search " flames, thanks in advance

EDIT: Do you have to be at an alignment shop to fix the camber or can you do it while its on jackstands?

 

do a search

alignment shop or buy a camber gauge and adjust it yourself. I've done alignments on my car without the help of alignment shop. and my tires treadwear are awesome.

were is a good place to get a camber gauge at?

 

check out the digital smart guage, it's about $200 but much better than those water bubble guages. i've been to alignment shops and they can F it up also (if they don't do these types of alignments often) i perfer to set my camber myself and know exactly what it is and then get it aligned.

 

Where can you find the camber guage at?

 

Where can you find the camber guage at? But after you set the camber the toe will generally get effected, how do you suppose to adjust that, or measure it?

 

i've never heard of anyone doing there own alignment... isnt that why they have all those fancy mirrors and crap at teh alignment place

 

I'd rather spend the 200 on the alignment then spending 200 on a guage that I'll probably only use once anyway. Any cheaper guages available?

 

How long would you say it is safe to drive your car after you install the kit until the alignment. If I put it on friday will my tires be fine if I put 50-100 miles on them before an alignment?

 

hey tim, i didnt kno that u had the neuspeed race... dats what i have and thats pretty damn low... so i'd say when u put them on to adjust the camber kit so they sit farther out. And i did wait around that many miles before doing an alignment for my own car, cuz the shop was booked thru until like 2 days or so later.

 

Yea im' on race springs. It's a large drop but I love it. I'm going to used a level to get the camber as close to spec before I bring it to a shop. I'm gonna call aroudn today and see if anywhere local is good w/ alignments on lowered cars. If not, i'll just do it myself at my high school. We have a pretty nice auto shop.
